Just got back home from Up North putting up deer stands...the wife tells me our Yellow Lab has been missing since Saturday Morning.

We live on the east side of Foley near Hwy 23. Our dog is named Daisy and she has a green/brown collar with brass hardware. She did have a name tag with all of our info...it is my hope that the tag may have come off and someone has her and will see this.

She is 20 monthes old...she is the dog that I promised a pup to Bowser up near Spring Lake after they lost thier dog to a wolf attack. Like all family pets...she is important to us.

Please call me if you have any info on her.

I hope Daisy finds her way home soon Steve. With her ID tags, it'll just be a matter of time before the phone rings...

I'm asking the obvious but have you called the Sheriff, Vets, and whatever type of animal control you have there and left your contact info.

Fliers at the local stores and gas stations.

You might need to get that info out in the neighboring counties as well.

Good Luck!

If you haven't seen it yet, there is a post in the Hunting Dogs section today about a yellow lab found. I don't know how to attach the link for this post, but at least wanted to point it out. Hope you find her if you haven't already.

Update...forgot post this.

We found Daisy...or I should say my old Golden, Sandy led us to her. It appears Daisy escaped from her kennal...my responsibility, and made her way to a near by property. We found her dead underneath a scrubby pine about 150 yards from his property.

It appears she had two gunshot wounds in her front quarters. The property owner had admitted two years ago to shooting another dog who was "near" his property. This guy has no livestock, no domestic pets, no children and has a small seasonal place located near public hunting land...why shoot a dog. When he was asked if the previous dog he shot was chasing deer, he said "No, I just did not like it."

I certainly feel responsible for the kennal...I guess the wire chain link included was not up to a frisky lab. But I feel worse for this guy who will never experience the honor of being owned by a great little pup.

RIP Daisy

Very sorry to read this Steve, I was hoping Daisy would just show up someday back at her home with her family. It's sickening to know there are people out there like this a-hole who would shoot a dog. Sad thing is, theres more like him. Such a waste. I hope the many good memories you made with your little Lab girl can get you through this tough time. Rest in peace Daisy.

I'm very sorry for your loss. My dad had a brittany pup that someone poisoned in the early 80's before i was born. It still makes him well up to talk about it to this day. Some people have no respect for life. I don't know how you feel because i have only lost a dog to old age and not meanness. But again I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure she is living it up in doggy heaven with all the fields and marshes in the world to run. My condolences.

Sorry for your loss. Its tough too loose a dog/friend/family member.

We are in the same position. We lost our Brittany Spaniel 1 week ago and he hasnt been found since. With the extremely cold weather, I can only assume the outcome is not good.

I guess this thread is a few weeks old. I would call the local sheriff's department and tell them your story. Not because you can do anything about it, but they should know they have a citizen who is willing and eager to kill people's dogs at the slightest provocation.

People inclined to do things like this sometimes end up being involved in far more tragic situations.

Like I say, you can't file a complaint I guess but you should let local law enforcement know about it.

And I am sorry you lost your dog. It always hurts.

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
